Legal Malpractice Lawyers in Sarasota

About legal malpractice

Legal malpractice cases pose certain challenges and complexities unlike other tort cases. They essentially require the litigator to assemble and prove a case within a case.

Generally, in order to recover on a claim for legal malpractice, you must demonstrate that the attorney agreed to take on the client???s case, neglected the duty owed to the client and that this breach of duty directly and proximately caused an actual loss to the client.

Legal malpractice occurs in situations, such as when an attorney:

Misses filing deadlines, response deadlines or does not bring a claim before expiration of the statute of limitations

Does not relay important information to the client, such as settlement offers

Violates the rules of conduct established by the Florida Bar through actions such as disclosing the confidential information of a client

You must show that you would have prevailed on the underlying action but for the attorney's negligence. Morris & Widman, P.A. is available to discuss potential legal malpractice claims and looks forward to working with counsel on a referral basis.
